Raymond Bryant Will Take Care of You

Mr Bryant and his team are exceptional. Initially he didn't see a concrete direction in my discrimination case. He still offered sound direction with which to proceed on my own. After completing those tasks - I reached back out to inform him that my case was deemed acceptable for mediation by ...the standards of the Colorado Civil Rights Division, and to give thanks for his help. He approached my situation from a benevolent perspective because he believed in me, and held disdain for how I was treated. He told me that he would represent me in the initial mediation just so I would have someone in my corner! The discrimination accusation became clearer as he learned more and we worked hard together. It was wonderful to have him by my side, I can't describe how happy I am that he was there for me. Surely your experience will be the same for you. Don't hesitate in recruiting this team in your corner. Cheers, LW

Civil Rights Lawyer - Give Him A Call To Help You

We are very pleased with Raymond Bryant's handling of my son's recent case against the City & County of Denver. We highly recommend him for any matter in his area of expertise. Mr. Bryant is professional and clearly very driven. He will fight for you. Mr. Bryant is assertive with cases, whi...le being committed to and caring for his client and his client's situation. We felt comfortable with Mr. Bryant from the very beginning. He is very easy to talk with and he responded very timely to us via phone calls or emails. Deputies allowed inmates to search and pat down other inmates, allowing touching and fondling that shouldn't have happened, along with being kicked. Deputies laughed very hard and ignored requests for help or for something to be done about what happened in the Denver Detention Center. In the end, 3 deputies no longer work for the City of Denver, 2 relating to this case and 1 other with a similar case. Mr. Bryant worked hard to get my son a settlement on this matter. We feel justice has been served. Anyone looking for a Civil Rights Lawyer should give Raymond Bryant a call, you will not be disappointed. He's outstanding!

Review: Attorney Raymond Bryant

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Raymond Bryant during the time period of 2012-2014 upon my racial discrimination case with a previous employer. I can honestly say that because of Raymond, the entire process was hassle free. He worked with me financially, legally, and emotionally to obtain... justice for my hardships, as well as opening up doors to make a change in the system so that others will not share my same experience in the future. Through his wonderful ability to adapt to his clients needs as well as their individual cases. As a victorious client of Raymond Bryant I feel that I have truly received justice. No matter the odds that arose against us Raymond fought diligently for my rights. He is an attorney with both professionalism and passion for his craft as well as justice. He is truly a professional that you can trust. Thanks again Raymond!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Raymond and I worked together on a civil rights case against a local municipality in which the plaintiff was seriously injured. Raymond demonstrated an extraordinary knowledge of the law and was more than prepared for every stage of trial. Raymond typically handles all of his own pre-trial motions and leaves his clients in the strongest position to win possible. I would strongly recommend Raymond to anyone who has experience a violation of his or her civil liberties or Constitutional rights."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
